CORN AND CALLUS TREATING DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 27, 1920.

Application filed March 1, 1920. Serial No. 362,603.

To all "whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY E. SoruNoLER, a citizen of the United States, residin at bisseton, in the county of Roberts and S tate of South Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Corn and Callus Treating Devices, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to appliances for use in the treatment of calluses and corns and the object is to provide a neat, cheap, simple and efficient device whereby a callus or corn can be treated with an application of hot water or a medicated liquid without subjecting the flesh therearound or the whole foot to the treatment as is necessary for instance when the foot is soaked in hot water or medicine in order to treat the affected spot.

The invention is clearly shown and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which the single figure therein is a diametrical sectional view of the dcviceshown as applied to a callus on the bottom of a foot, a portion of which is shown.

Referring to the drawing by reference letters A designates a funnel shaped container having an inwardly projecting anti-splashing rim B and a downward extending spout C. A side spout D is formed integrally with the spout C, both of which have the same diameter. Frictionally secured upon each of the outer ends of the spouts C and D is a nipple E, made of rubber or some other pliable material, and is provided with a pliable rim F adapted to yieldingly conform with any surface G against which it may be pressed. A projecting pin H is fixed to the spout C opposite the spout D and is adapted to frictionally engage in a cork or other suitable handle piece I. A second cork J is adapted toengage in either of the nipples E and prevent the liquid K from running out of the spout'in which it is secured.

In the operation of the device, if the corn or callus to be treated is on the bottom of the foot the device is applied as shown in the drawing after the foot has first been raised so the bottom surface is in a substantially vertical position. If the corn or callus to be soaked or treated is on the top of the foot or toe the cork J is first removed from the lower spout and is secured in the horizontal side spout and the lower nipple is applied to the sore spot. The cork I acts as a convenient handle and is also an insulation against the heat of the liquid K.

Having now fully shown and described my invention, what I claim to be new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is 1. A device of the class described consisting of a hollow liquid container, a vertical spout extending downwardly therefrom, a side spout extending horizontally from said vertical spout, nipples secured at the ends of said spouts, a stopper adapted to be secured in either of said spouts.

2. A device of the class described consisting of a funnel shaped hollow liquid container, an inwardly projecting rim at the top edge of said container, a spout at the lower end of said container, a nipple frictionally secured on said spout, a pliable rim on saidnipple.

3. A device of the class described consisting of a hollow liquid container, a vertical spout extending downwardly from said container, a horizontal spout integral with and extending from one side of said vertical spout, an insulated handle extending from the opposite side of said vertical spout, a pliable nipple secured to each spout and means for stopping either one of same.

In testimony whereofI affix my signature.
